Today is an Early Release Day for staff trainings being held this afternoon at the district level. Students will be dismissed at 1:55 PM.
Good morning Dragonfly Families!
Below is the newsletter for the upcoming week. I hope that your student(s) enjoyed our recent taste of winter. Students should bring their remote learning activities to school with them for teachers to review on Monday. 3rd-5th graders will participate in MVPS this coming Monday (ELA) and Tuesday (Math) due to us being out on the previously scheduled days. Please encourage them to do their best and use their strategies. We are not looking for PERFECTION. We are looking for PROGRESS. ⚚⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
As always, thank you for all you do to support the staff of Dixon Road Elementary School as we empower our students to:
D- Dream Big
R- Reach Goals
E- Explore Opportunities and
S-Succeed in a Global Society.

Due to the hazardous road conditions caused by the recent winter weather event, Johnston County Public Schools will be closed for all students tomorrow, Friday, January 24, 2025, as well as all extracurricular activities. The district will operate under Condition 3 of the inclement weather plan.
For JCPS staff, this day will become an optional teacher workday. Schools and county offices will open at 10 AM.
As always, safety is our primary concern and after driving our roadways and receiving guidance from local safety officials and NCDOT, we have been advised that though the main roads within high-traffic areas may be clear, many secondary roads within the rural areas of the county are expected to still have hazardous conditions through Friday, making them unsafe for JCPS transportation use. In addition, many of our campuses have shaded walkways, parking lots, and areas that must continue to be assessed by our operational staff before students may safely return.
Extracurricular activities and community facility use will resume on Saturday morning, however, we still encourage site visitors to travel safely and be cautious while on campus, particularly in shaded areas.
Have a great weekend everyone and make the most of what is left of the snow!
Due to the hazardous conditions caused by the recent winter weather, all JCPS schools and office buildings will be closed for students and staff on Thursday, January 23, 2025, as well as all after-school activities and events.
JCPS will operate under Condition One of the Inclement Weather Plan. Please view the details of the plan by visiting the JCPS website at www.johnston.k12.nc.us/weatherconditions.
Good afternoon!
Due to school closing 1 hour early, all after school activities have been cancelled today including After School Care, Showcase Practice, and Game Club!
Good morning! The 4th Grade trip to the NC Symphony has been cancelled for today and will hopefully be rescheduled. This decision was made at the district level due to the uncertainty of weather this afternoon.
Please review these activities compiled for all of our students on remote learning days. If you have any questions, please reach out to your student's teacher. Be reminded that all assignments offered during remote learning days will be enhancement/enrichment type activities. No assignments will receive a grade, but will be reviewed.
